StichMethod Guitar Ok. What key is Touch of Grey in? Cause Jerry always lands on the 11th fret high E string on the B chord. And you always said that he comes home to a certain key in a chord

[@mechanicjay]

Okay, I've been messing around with this for last couple hours. My heart literally skipped a beat when, just for a few sweet moments, Jerry's notes came through my guitar.

[@BubSands]

You should revisit this lesson and give it again. You really nailed it back then. Good stuff.

[@WEMunson]

Your "springtime happy sound" that Jerry made really got to me, man. That description really nailed it, and brought a tear to my eye for the loss for the world of music that came with his passing. Keep up the video work. You rock.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I loved Jerry. I chased him around the country for 23 years, from my first show in 1972 until the last show in 1995. Like many dead heads I quite jobs to go on tour. I once was a semi truck driver and I had some magnetic signs made up that had the name of the trucking company they used to hire to haul their equipment. I'd get to the venue and attach those signs to the doors of the truck and pull right in and park next to the bands trucks. Rock star parking. Stitch man, I live your videos.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Yes Ian. For 23 years I watched Jerry and the boys turn buildings of concrete into cathedrals of Devine light.

[@sonnyj2k]

Wow you are lucky man.

[@wompbozer3939]

Jeff Johansen I love it!

[@agropsychonaut]

i have one word for you; Bobby Fucking Weir! I rest my headcase...

[@BreakTheStereoRadio]

Truckin...

[@TheNetflyer]

'..that springtime happy sound!' Dude... you're the man, thanks!

[@bradstarkey7369]

I grew up Salem Oregon 1972 Dead OMG a musical feast were it filled the air and we never looked back... Culture shock for a 17 year old kid Amazing shurooms at that young age to old for that now but will never forget the day with the dead, music or the girls tie die heaven : ) thank you for sharing. I half to do this... 84 Ventura beach and the Olympics seen their last show in Seattle and a few in between ... enjoy

[@adirondacktrekking1972]

YES ,he gets that thing literally “singing” sugaree.....it’s sooo beautiful ,thank you !

[@jixxxxer17]

just revisited this lesson again and I gotta say it's priceless , best teacher on YT hands down, Peace And Be Well Please !

[@mechanicjay]

That chord chord progression on Sugaree is what made me fall in love with the Dead about 4 years ago. I've been struggling to unlock that sound for over a year now... Can't wait to home tonight to try it out!

[@baddoggydaddy]

I have been a dead head my whole life, and have followed them as a way of life.. I have hung out with Jerry and smoked with him when the JFK was still there in Philly PA, actually they're the ones that brought down that stadium when they got done playing....the structure had started to crumble that was the last concert that was ever played the last event that was ever at that tedium .....anyway not to brag about how many times I've seen the grateful dead. I stumbled across one of your videos it was this one and I was wondering where you been all the while I was running around looking for people that play the Grateful Dead not well... as you do so I appreciate how you teach us on your videos it's easy and it's understandable for an old acidhead thank you very much and I really enjoy

[@coolpersonwhoiscoolplaia8237]

I was at the JFK show.

[@BadScooter1970]

I was at that show as well! Thanks for the memories!

[@michaelvarney.]

I created a Pareto distribution of KZbin guitar teachers who have lead me to the biggest breakthroughs, and have inspired me most, and this channel has dominated the chart.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Michael Varney thanks! So glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@brianlarsen6242]

Fun to see some old videos. Your style has come a long way in the past 7years. Can see the start of greatness here.

[@NukesOfHazzard]

So simple yet so beautiful! Thanks for the lesson.

[@ianhansen-tilkens1817]

Dude your lessons are awesome. I've been hearing Jerry do that for so long. It's amazing to finally be able to do it my self and get to add those flourish notes. Thank you for these videos man.

[@bwustinbweem]

youve been getting me into jerry big time. my dads a huge dead head but i stuck to more srv hendrix and clapton styles for a while. a whole new world of playing. so fun!

[@joekub7]

awesome simple little lesson that translates to boundless possibilities... ie different chords, different string sets, moving laterally rather than vertically... on and on. great lesson!

[@carlbraun9864]

Springtime happy! RIP Jerry, but the music never stops!

[@jixxxxer17]

Best Teacher I have ever seen/heard damn where were you when I was young lol Peace !

[@larrywolfson2231]

Great video! I suck at guitar but this really helps. You are really a natural teacher.

[@Stonecrow25]

Siiick! Thanks for bit on using the scale with the chord shapes walking down. Never really thought of it that way.

[@MrNvona]

Seriously, the best Sugaree lesson ever. Many thanks

[@rjakelennox]

Your passion envigorates me! Sounds beautiful man

[@vikingbear79]

I'd like to add to the chorus of praise for this glimpse into a joyful bit of that "Springtime Happy Sound". Well done sir and thank you. A little idea that opens up a world of possibilities.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Thanks Zachary!

[@anthony.welch628]

Whenever this guy plays his version of Sugaree it brings tears to my eyes, cause it cause to remind me of a childhood friend who I used to go watch Grateful Dead shows in the upstate New York area, the Rochester area to be precise! But he died of congestive heart failure when he was 18?!

[@jerrysmiddlefinger930]

Wow man! Thank you so much. I can’t believe how much better that made my sugaree sound. Priceless man. Seriously

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Steven Cuda thanks for the kind words!

[@SeasickSailor76]

3:30 "You can hear Come together"? I thought this was on Sugaree! Ok, I'll stop now! :-D Great lessons by the way!

[@brandenmiquelas3319]

I'm so glad I found this channel every lesson is remarkable! thank you!

[@handsomescout9567]

[@seanclock7867]

Live from winterland 1974 THE BEST!!!!!!

[@duyle8921]

Very informative, effective lesson, Stich. Thanks for taking the time to record and post it.

[@dr.mauriciolavie9640]

Just love watching you. Your passion truly shows. I am an intermediate player... that means that I do not even yet know what I don't know.... but you make it look damn easy!!

[@xMidMassx]

[@anthony.welch628]

[@kevinstetz9536]

Awesome video. I've been working at this and didn't realized could add those extra notes on the high E. Thanks!

[@ClayAllred]

Sweet lesson, thank you!!! ❤️ I love how you brought Jerry out.

[@garybrown1619]

Great stuff! Easy to go right to my guitar tp play

[@erichanhauser3190]

You can seriously get lost in this kind of playing. Endless possibilities. Love it. Great video. Thanks. Stella Blue might be my all time favorite to play. Pisses my wife off to no end. Wonders why I can go on & on & on......

[@derekmc9580]

Awesome video stitch. Been working on triads so this is a good idea to practice over.

[@nickdonalds0546]

You the man Stitch

[@thisisme4858]

Nice sounding guitar. You really hear the wood in it

[@thcarter123]

Love this lesson. Thank you so much. When are you doing in person workshops again? After a year of pandemic, really anxious to get off my couch. Sincere best wishes…

[@oicsaywhat]

Thanks so much , really opened up a whole new approach for me. Great lesson and great personality!! Looking forward to checking out more of your lessons

[@tblues01]

Nice. Always thought this song was in B. Thanks for this.

[@StichMethodGuitar]

Watch my Jerry Garcia MasterClass. It deals with Sugaree as well.

[@aeria369]

cool.. thanks

[@jamesball5743]

Another great one. Making some real progress from your videos, great stuff, thank you and much respect!

[@blakewhittington4336]

Listen to May,28th 1977 Its a good example of Jerry playing with this pattern

[@brkfstchmp]

Best version imo, especially with that sweet transition from Good Lovin

[@BastognePitBull]

Love your stuff Bro!

[@MikeKingJSM]

This is an incredible lesson. Thank you, brother!!

[@frankdion9024]

sweet sound. Sweet lesson.

[@Yimi410]

Amazing video thanks so much!!!

[@moledog88]

Very cool Lesson ,sounds awesome

[@ImproveYoSelf610]

Good lesson man, you're good at what you do

[@jejameson49]

Excellent!

[@mdhonze]

WOW!!! I just sort of found u by accident and man am I happy I did. Thank you so much and keep the Jerry vids coming. I hope u do some acoustic stuff as well, I have not yet subscribed but I will indeed. And u look like Jerry's younger bro maybe...ha ha ...be well

[@Stevesoffthecouch]

Great lesson.Nice fast pace full of info.Thx,just subscribed.

[@timrutz3]

Dude your awesome!!! Love all your lessons.

[@geoffreysarkissian3154]

Great little lesson. Thanks! I'm enjoying working through your pentatonic blues lessons, and each of these are so helpful. REQUEST: I'm hoping you'll do a video on Major pentatonics. Your NeverLost System doesn't quite work with major pentatonics since the root notes are different throughout. Thanks again.

[@geoffreysarkissian3154]

Well OK, I will. Thanks!!

[@robinski199]

Thanks you so much for all the great lessons. You've enlightened my musical knowledge tenfold. I was wondering if you could do a video about the last jam part of the music never stopped? Thanks again!

[@brazilhead]

Always wondered how Jerry did that section. Thanks!

[@kellymcgrath5541]

youre so in tune with the dead.. its crazy

[@michaelthacker909]

Ayyye I’m comment # 145. Now I gotta go play some blues 😂😂 thanks for another awesome vid Stitch!! :))

[@pevsfreedom]

Just found your channel. I always kinda wondered how much of this stuff Jerry consciously thought about or practiced beforehand lol. I read somewhere he was always carrying music books with him to expand his vocabulary, so I assume he practiced a ton.

[@herbythechef7624]

It was said by the band that even in the 60s jerry would be up in late hours of the night practicing by himself for hours straight

[@palakabrad]

Mahalo Stitch! Love the dead tune breakdowns!!

[@kristenstanton9677]

That was rad. Thank you!

[@Jeff-S]

Totally awesome.

[@LacedBacon]

Hey Stich Happy New Year buddy! Thanks for the lessons today, I'm getting charts for this and Sample..I'm about to watch that Sample lesson next!!

[@Paul-kb1dm]

You are a gift from God.

[@Carn55]

Great video! Thanks for this.

[@MichaelWilliams-ib8pk]

Just discovered this and would love to know the scale you are playing when you go into the solo after the chord solo.

[@takingupserpents632]

Love this!

[@talizmondakine1995]

Stitch method guitar izzz "Really Good!;)"

[@zevpass]

Really sweet ...

[@tompoynton]

It’s funny I grew up with a Deadhead dad, then later learned to play guitar from the relatively late age of 18, but always having the Dead on in the background must have had an effect as I’ve been doing this for years (now 41) without ever realising it until now!

[@robsgirl6465]

So beautiful. Thanks Stich! Just subscribed.💖👍☺👍💖

[@markusgarvey]

Love you bro!

[@joevannucci1392]

Great stuff!

[@chriskaspar4232]

another great one!!!

[@RLB52]

Thanks for this

[@boxbarry8061]

thanks man! nice video.

[@danhernandez7603]

Thank you

[@chrisstackpole8389]

Really awesome lesson. Thanks so much. That tech is it the same Jerry used on the intro to Cosmic Charlie? It seem he plays the A all positions like that in intro. I am self taught and your videos are the best out there. I'll hit up the gear fund when I can. Thanks for what you do.

[@Funkrocker81]

Damn, just the second comment! I think the picking pattern comes from some kind of country flatpicking and there it is called Banjo Roll or Crosspicking or so... Cool Lesson, thanks. PS: Would love to see a lesson on Sample in the Jar. Cool chord Progression with some lines that follow the Chords/shapes...👍

[@Funkrocker81]

StichMethod Guitar awesome 👏

[@97MrBlues]

Is there a possibility you could do a how to solo over Althea? You are great btw,thanks for all the tips.Althea is my fav Dead song :)

[@agropsychonaut]

its a tek. will work anywhere you make it fit

[@owenthunderguns3608]

another great video!!

[@leonardocannone8349]

AWESOME! Thank you!

[@ClassicRoy111]

You are awesome

[@kevinborchers851]

For the past 6 months or so I've been looking for a good lesson on sugaree and there was only one good one KZbin, so thank you for doing this one. Btw John Mayer really shines on this song in Dead and Co., and I especially like the way he uses chords in his climatic solos

[@jezzbass1826]

thank u again!

[@gfunkehauser502]

awesome

[@daxel001]

Stich Sensei, I love your videos. You are my Sensei. I realize that I know pentatonics like the back of my hand, but not major and minor scales. How do you recommend I learn major/minor scales up and down the neck, all root positions? CAGED? Or 'normal' approach and just memorize the scales? Side note: Cris Jacobs (The Bridge, Cris Jacobs Band) once gave me a guitar lesson, and he uses CAGED. I would love to know your thoughts on it Ian.

[@badbennys3583]

Great! In the mind of Trey Anastasio?

[@floodland99]

Johnny Marr used to do this kind of thing as well.

[@jaskate22]

great vid , one of my favs. I had an open question on that relative minor video still if you get any free time. Seems like you've been burning through lessons !

[@jaskate22]

Thanks for helping blend together the mountain of information that I knew but didn't know how to use haha (scales/progressions/styles.....joining them all) One question.... When I'm doing my blues chord progression (12 bar or other )....in say the key of E (E-A-B)...I am going to use my E Minor pentatonic over it...not the C# minor pentatonic (which would be the relative minor of the E-A-B progression) Why wouldn't I just use the C Minor pentatonic here instead of the Am to get my bluesy sound? If it was just C-F-G and we never included the Am chord.....would we just use a C minor pentatonic? What if the progression didn't start on Am but started on C and went C-F-G-Am....would we then use the C Minor pentatonic to get a bluesy sound? Or is the correct answer that....either could work? haha. Hopefully that question(s) was clear! Thanks!!! StichMethod Guitar4 days ago Before I answer this, did you watch my Pentatonic Mastery Playlist? James A3 days ago Thanks! Hadn't seen the third video and the end of that definitely helped. I guess in regard to this video my question still is, could I play a C minor pentatonic over that progression that starts with C major to get a blues sound?

[@kevinborchers851]

James A if the song is a 12 bar blues in C yes use C minor pent but also C major pent. The C# minor pentatonic would work over the E-A-B progression,because that is also the E major scale. Mixing major minor in blues is what makes Clapton, BB, Mayer sound so good

[@jaskate22]

My problem is I come up with this questions when I'm not in front of my guitar - i guess I need to mess around with playing the relative minor pentatonic scale over those chords to see the differences in sounds - thanks

[@kevinborchers851]

StichMethod Guitar yep I was just saying mixing minor and major is what takes your playing to the next step

[@magnesia32]

Thanks....
